+title: diffoscope 164 released
+author: Chris Lamb <lamby at debian.org>
+---
+
+The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
+version `164`. This version includes the following changes:
+
+```
+[ Chris Lamb ]
+* Truncate jsondiff differences at 512 bytes lest they consume the entire page.
+* Wrap our external call to cmp(1) with a profile (to match the internal
+  profiling).
+* Add a note regarding the specific ordering of the new
+  all_tools_are_listed test.
+
+[ Dimitrios Apostolou ]
+* Performance improvements:
+  - Improve speed of has_same_content by spawning cmp(1) less frequently.
+  - Log whenever the external cmp(1) command is spawn.ed
+  - Avoid invoking external diff for identical, short outputs.
+* Rework handling of temporary files:
+  - Clean up temporary directories as we go along, instead of at the end.
+  - Delete FIFO files when the FIFO feeder's context manager exits.
+
+[ Mattia Rizzolo ]
+* Fix a number of potential crashes in --list-debian-substvars, including
+  explicitly listing lipo and otool as external tools.
+ - Remove redundant code and let object destructors clean up after themselves.
+
+[ Conrad Ratschan ]
+* Add a comparator for Flattened Image Trees (FIT) files, a boot image format
+  used by U-Boot.
+```
